The TIME Titan Carbon Pedals serve as the forerunner of pedals in the ATAC XC line and they deliver super-lightweight features with titanium mandrels and complete carbon body. They have TIME's ATAC double-arch system of retention which is manufactured from stainless steel for accurately effortless engagement. There are more great features, some of which are:

• A self-cleaning system that ensures the cleat, or pedal interchange, doesn’t get clogged no matter the weather condition

Throw in superior spikes and the ability to basically clean themselves as they go by shedding mud, and you have a pair of pedals that you won’t want to miss out on!

The idea for Shimano American Corporation was sown in 1961 at a Toy show in New York. In 1965, the founder’s youngest son, Yoshizo Shimano, started the New York office in order to get faster feedback on products and to make available the much-needed technical support and such to retailers who were selling bikes outfitted with Shimano components. Although it has expanded from that small office with a staff of only three, to a complete center for distribution that has marketing and sales offices, its goals remain unchanged. It still listens to feedback on significant trends and requirements of its customers in North America for both fishing and bicycle products, meeting and exceeding customers’ expectations and ensuring excellent after-sales and customer care.

• Double-sided pedals that make clipping them in easy
• Fixed cartridge bearings that provide zero maintenance needs
• Easy to dismantle, scrub, and oil the interiors without the need for specific tools
• Release tension of pedals can be adjusted with a three-millimeter Allen wrench to suit the rider's level of comfort
